Throughout the pre- and post-season, teams coached by Total Futbol compete in a broad range of tournaments and showcases. These events, which can be grueling (often there are four intense games in a two-day period), are critical for building camaraderie on a team and developing grit. No matter how "prestigious" the tournamnet may be in national rankings, make no mistake: It is tough to win a trophy or advance to the Final game. Congrats to all those teams who competed, whether they placed or not!
